What exactly are churches looking for in a pastor today? I ask that question because in today's post-modern world we see biblical principles on a down slide. The Bible says “ For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and who… Continue

Every day I find it harder and harder to do what is right in the eyes of God. Don’t you? I find it especially hard, when you work every day in a world that is broken and lost without hope in Christ Jesus, even in a small community of Woodstock, New Brunswick. You work every day in a place that uses His name [Jesus Christ] frequently but in a way that dishonou… Continue

This is an argument paper I did for college. It's definitely not exhaustive, I was only allowed to write 4 pages maximum. Thus it is very surface level.
The Holy Spirit:
His Personality, Work and Office
Today there is too little understood about the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Christians seem very interested in current issues, ministry, and even theology; but there is not much talk or excitement over just who the Holy Spirit is. The apathy toward this subject is not in line with church… Continue
This is a poem I wrote a while back when I was praying for God to send me the girl He has for me. Enjoy!
Dear sovereign Lord
I pray for grace
For You alone bear the sword
And the blood with which I plead my case
I am a worm and no man
A fleeting vapor, a wayward sheep
And out of all the grains of sand
You have chosen a woman, to test me.
Help, O Lord
This broken cistern
Laden with so many weights
To be wise, and to learn
Her Savior to imitate Continue

A poem that I recently found that I had written three years ago.
I saw you on those cold, lonely nights,
lying there in your bed, late into the night.
As you reached out your little hand to me,
crying out to me,
how I longed to be able to grab it,
wrap it around my finger.
Oh, if you only knew how many times
I have wanted to hold you.
If you could only see what I see,
then you would no longer be afraid.
It tore my heart to see you hurt so.
I just couldn't leave you here
alone to fend for yourse… Continue
Here is a painting that I recently did for my watercolor class. Upon completing the painting, I was inspired to write this creative response in order to glorify God. I hope that whoever reads this is encouraged by it.
Promise of a New Tomorrow
Oh what a sight!
My eyes have n… Continue

What is the Perfect Gift for this Christmas Season? The Answer is simple the Lord Jesus Christ. Think about why we celebrate Christmas. Jesus said (John 3:16-18) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned alrea… Continue

Every January, Westminster Seminary California hosts a conference that offers biblical teaching on important topics to educate and equip men and women to serve Christ and his Church. This year's conference: Calvin's Legacy: Reforming the Church Today promises to be a valuable opportunity and resource for pastors, elders, Sunday School teachers, and laity.
I will be speaking at this conference along with several of my
How much emphasis do you put on Prayer? Is it your desire to pray to a holy God? Or do you say 'I don't really know and don't really see the importance of it". My brothers and sisters prayer is our every day breath. This is how we communicate to our sovereign God. We must stop holding our breath when it comes to the matter of Prayer.
Ask yourself: How long can you hold your breath? 5 seconds, 30 seconds, maybe 2 minutes. The Bible says we must continue, never ceasing, always praying. Prayer is o… Continue
If you don't follow Christian Research Net, they are a discernment ministry (one I have at times disagreed with esp. because I think they are wrong on Dodnald Whitney) that does a good job. They have highlighted a member our page. Douglas Abu-Boahen. He's from England and currently, he has been highlighted for his keen insight into ROb Bells screwy theology. OK, he tears it apart. Visit Douglas' page and visit his post… Continue
A prof. from my school is gearing up for a hybrid un-conference he has coming up in February called Idea Camp. It's basically a place where young un and coming leaders can exchange ideas. Some very well known people will be coming out to participate. The price? Free. Location? Irvine California. I would like it if people from the reformed camp can come out and participate in this dialogue. It's on another ning page, but if you join, blog about it and your blog will be added to their links page.… Continue
